Legislation has now been passed, which allows us to distribute certain documents to our shareholders electronically. This is both a more efficient and quicker method of distribution and eliminates some of the cost of producing Company documents, such as the Annual report, as well as being kinder to the environment.

To receive email alerts in the future, which tell you when Company documents are available online, please click the email alerts link and follow the instructions to register free for this service;

Please note the use of electronic communications is entirely voluntary and so if you wish to continue receiving communications from us by post, you need take no action.

Our share registrars, Computershare, have provided a dedicated help line for any queries you may have in relation to electronic communications, which is available from 0830hrs to 1730hrs on
